    Morning Losers!

    Nice lie in for me this morning. I'm off to a wedding later, followed by the last home match of the season for Bury.

    Stunning day here! Feeling good.

    Laters!

    Winner winner chicken dinner
    I'll take my wins where I can these days :)

    Normal day so far - been to the tip, got some shopping, dropped some stuff off to be repaired. Now sitting in the Waitrose caff with a sausage roll and a coffee while Strifey and Stropteen go shopping in Bromley.

    I like normal. Could do with some bloody exercise though!

    Evening phucktards,
    Day of pottering about with a late lunch at a nice Italian with my 'rents to celebrate me getting older next Tuesday. Very pleasant. Very sleepy now, drinking in the afternoon does that to me.

    Evening you old old gits,

    Disappointed with the football result, still staying in Div one but could have done without giving Tkms lot 3 points!

    Been to the local hunt banquet this afternoon, lots of wild boar and deer got eaten and an amazing amount of red wine, this hectic social life of mine must stop soon or I'll be looking as as old as Stevo and V68 do!

    Morning saddos,

    Today's minion hunting exploits should hopefully bring us 5 new faces which will make my life a)easier and b) less worky. Still need another 5 on top of that to ensure I can return to procrastinating instead of actually working all the time.

    Beers later so hopefully a good day all round.

    Today so far has been walk hound, fix spotlight in kitchen, sup coffee. Im waiting for my two to return and cause chaos and more jobs. May watch the footy later to see who we'll get in the cup final.

    Blimey, it's still morning. Another Sunday of pottering. Lots of little jobs as I'm avoiding the larger ones. Pub later.

    Happy St Georges day you massive bunch of trumpets!

    Done some bits and bobs in the garden today, quite productive even if i do say so.

    Brother in law is here and since the loss of his mrs last year has discovered internet dating, to say he is non responsive is an understatement at least he's getting some action even if it is online!

    :mrgreen: So you're a Northampton fan then? Well thanks to your lot, we're most likely staying the League 1 too, so thanks for playing so rubbishly. We actually looked good!

    Monday - Meh

    Morning Losers!

    I've had a great weekend. Lots of relaxing, walks, food, football, sun etc. I'm gutted to be going back to work, but at least my retard minion has booked the day off as a holiday, so I'm not going to be annoyed with him, but it's going to be a busy one I'm sure.

    Laters!

    Did you tell him to fark off as you're fully booked? Would the local economy be able to handle the increase in booze consumption?

    Happy Monday dingleberries,
    Quite sunny here this morning but a bit fresh, they say it's getting colder for tomorrow. I don't want it to get colder, I've had enough of it being cold. Need to go and get my ears lowered today, that's about as exciting as it gets.

    Could be, but that would be very boring. Nearly as boring as being an accountant.

    Lion tamer, please.

    At least I cycled into work this morning - was a bit fresh but not bad apart me being bloody slow from being unfit. Need to have quite a bit of delegation done by time I leave as I'm back North tomorrow and Weds to sort out more arrangements with undertakers, solicitors, that sort of crap. I am growing to hate the A1, sooo boring...

    Tuesday

    Morning Losers!

    Work wasn't too bad yesterday. I got a lesser-spotted minion to help me from about midday, and it was actually hugely useful. Makes me wonder if I need retard minion at all...

    Today, Retard Minion is back, and with a day of recharging, I'm sure he'll be even more retarded than normal.

    Roll on 4pm!

    Laters!

    Morning weird uns,

    Lovely hot day yesterday, lots of outdoors jobs got done and finished off in the pool for a relax. Bit cloudy today so lots more outdoor jobs but no pool time.
    With respect to Tlws Gite enquiry i have contacted the local authorities and businesses and wine and brandy production is up fifty percent and they have dumped a bottle bank on our driveway just in case.

    I think there's one 'e' too many :)

    It's nippy here and I'm headed North once rush hour is over, so had better pack the fleece and an arctic sleeping bag. The joys of the M11 and A1 await...

    Morning all,
    Bit nippy here as well, drove in today as I had to go and buy the cakes as it's the anniversary of my birth, a day so great it's a national holiday in Italy. Anybody want some cake?

    Wednesdayyyyy!

    Morning Losers!

    Well retard minion is back and recharged his retard cells. He was on top form yesterday, he never shuts up!

    Today, I have to endure the monotonous chatter from retard minion, but knowing that I have tomorrow off. This will help me. That said, I need to spend today revising for tomorrow, I don't want to fark it up.

    Good night out last night and the joys of a short commute from the hotel

    Been for a swim and now it's pig based food time

    Morning all,
    Tired after a bad night's kip. Tried a new pub last night, well an old pub that's been revamped, as it had free beer. Beer was good, pub was trying a bit too hard. Don't think I'll be going there very often. The problem with the trend for stripping everything out of pubs and floorboards means the sound travels. It wasn't that busy in there but it was bloody loud. I'm obviously that much older now. Out for beer and curry tonight for my birthday, this is doubly good as I won't have to pay anything.

    Bon courage TKM

    Bon anniversaire V68 or should that be V70 odd?

    Morning trumpers,

    It rained most of yesterday here which is the first rain in a month, i can almost hear the grass growing.
    Airport run yesterday meant we had a quiet house last night so i can now sit around in my undies again, great to have people visit, great when they leave!
    Generic diy stuff today, sorted the door on the chicken coop, got a swarm of bees that a mate is coming over to entice away and got veg plants to sort out.

    Toodles pip
    Today ism
